Why do school administrators want to keep school open on snow days?

693 views

Is there something in it for them? I’m pretty sure they get paid even if school is called off. For example today, there is snow, local colleges have announced that they will be closed. Our nearest local high school though announced there might be an early release but they hope not? And it is the Friday before spring break week off, seems like they would welcome the extra day off doesn’t it.

One reason that hasn’t been mentioned: parents get outraged when you cancel school unnecessarily.

For a significant number of parents, canceling school means they either have to stay home from work or arrange child care – at the same time everyone else is trying to do so – on a moment’s notice.
